Weather hits World Cup of Golf

The

World Cup of Golf is getting an early taste of Melbourne’s fickle weather.

Organisers of the 28team event at Metropolitan Golf Club have moved up tee times by an hour for today’s first round of the 72-hole stroke-play tournament that features fourballs (best ball) and foursomes (alternate shot) over two rounds each. Heavy rain is in the forecast beginning in the early afternoon today. The forecast is even worse for tomorrow, with cool temperatures and more rain. (AP)
